Tottenham vs Manchester United set for Friday June 19

On Thursday, the Times have dropped a nugget of information regarding the upcoming Premier League fixture list for the remainder of the 2019-20 season.

The Premier League is set to return on June 17. Now, the Times have released the following updates on the likely TV schedule:

Sky will screen the first matches when the league restarts on June 17; Aston Villa v Sheffield United at 6pm and Manchester City v Arsenal at 8pm, and is also set to show Tottenham v Manchester United on the evening of Friday 19.

BT Sport’s first game is likely to be Watford v Leicester City on the Saturday lunchtime.

Sky Sports have also backed up suggestions that Tottenham will take on Man United in the first round of fixtures when the Premier League restarts.

Premier League: Gameweek 30 fixtures

Prior to the suspension of the Premier League in March, the fixture list was as follows.

Bournemouth v Crystal Palace
Aston Villa v Chelsea
Brighton v Arsenal
Everton v Liverpool
Manchester City v Burnley
Newcastle United v Sheffield United
Norwich City v Southampton
Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United
Watford v Leicester City
West Ham United v Wolverhampton

 

When will the Premier League confirm the fixture list for the rest of the 2019-20 season?

According to the Guardian, “the Premier League is close to presenting a provisional fixture list for the remainder of the season to its clubs”.

While the Premier League clubs will discuss the fixtures at today’s latest Project Restart meeting, it’s unclear when a provisional schedule will actually be made public.

There are still 92 matches remaining in the league.

Aside from the final day of the season, which will see 10 matches all played at the same time, the remaining 82 Premier League fixtures will all have individual time slots so each game can be broadcast live.

The games will either air on Sky, BT Sport, Amazon Prime or BBC.

However, while the wall-to-wall football may be a festival for armchair fans, it’s likely to be gruelling for the players.

The Guardian have confirmed that some “unlucky” teams face “a sequence of three games in seven days.”
